Parts of the lens

The lens features several key components for operation:

• Lens hood: Helps reduce glare and protects the front element.
• Focus ring: Used for manual focusing.
• Zoom ring: Adjusts the focal length.
• Aperture ring: Sets the aperture (f-number).
• Aperture ring lock release: Used to switch between 'A' (automatic) and manual aperture settings.
• Aperture click switch: Toggles the clicking sound of the aperture ring.
• Lens signal contacts: Ensure proper communication between the lens and camera.

Operation

Aperture

Rotate the aperture ring to select the desired f-number. To set the aperture automatically, rotate the ring to the A position. To select a specific value, rotate the ring to the desired number. To switch between 'A' and manual values, press the aperture ring lock release while rotating the ring.

Use the aperture click switch to turn off the clicking sound for smoother, silent aperture adjustments.

Zoom

Rotate the zoom ring to adjust the focal length. Rotating left zooms out (wider angle), while rotating right zooms in (telephoto).

Maintenance and care

• Cleaning: Use a blower to remove dust and lint. For smudges or fingerprints, apply a small amount of lens cleaner to a soft, clean cloth or lens-cleaning tissue. Clean in a circular motion from the center outwards. Never use organic solvents like paint thinner or benzene.
• Storage: Always attach the front and rear caps when the lens is not in use. Store in a cool, dry place to prevent mold and rust. Avoid direct sunlight and storage with mothballs.
• Moisture: Keep the lens dry. Wipe off any rain or water droplets immediately.

Safety precautions

Warning: Do not immerse in or expose to water, as this can cause fire or electric shock. Do not disassemble the lens. If the lens case breaks open due to a fall or accident, do not touch the exposed internal parts; remove the camera battery and consult your dealer.

Caution: Keep out of reach of small children. Do not handle with wet hands. When shooting backlit subjects, keep the sun out of the frame to prevent focused sunlight from causing fire or burns.
